I was tagged on Instagram to do this fun tag. Feel free to join the tag and share your skincare favorites in the comments below! Don’t be shy! 🙂

1. Last product that I used that wowed me: @LiraClinical Pro C4 Retinol Serum – Outstanding serum. It makes my skin so smooth and clear. I love the light texture and how easy it glides over skin. I also like the scent (happens rarely for me so I am happy to have found this). This is my favorite product discovery of 2015 so far. A definite re-buy.

2. Product bought based on someone’s recommendation on Instagram: @BanilaCo_Official Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm – Terrific rec by @fenztastic. It has a sherbert texture, which makes it great as a summer balm. The “sherbert” is light and when it turns into oil, the oil is lightweight too but still spreads very easily. Rinses off super well too. Much cheaper than balms in the U.S. A truly great value.

3. Cheapest product used regularly: @BourjoisParis Micellar Cleansing Water (for the face, not eyes) – I use this if wearing foundation. Then I use a cleansing oil or water-based cleanser afterward. What I like about this particular micellar water is that it’s gentle and doesn’t leave skin dry. No strong scent either like many French brands. I bought this in France several years ago and stocked up. The packaging may have changed. $7 USD.

4. Most repurchased product: A tie between @Dermalogica Precleanse and Multi-Active Toner – You’ve heard me rave about Precleanse but not MAT. Great basic hydrating toner for all skin types. Light, easy to spread. P.S. Dermalogica’s spray bottles are the best – the sprays disperse an even mist that is just right in volume, force, and radius.

5. Cleanser used this morning: @Circadia_Skin Amandola Milk Cleanser – Have I raved about this yet? My new favorite milky cleanser. Cleans well and hydrates my skin without leaving a residue. Has some lactic acid for a mild exfoliating effect.
